Remote Sensing technologies are considered integral to a nation's capabilities, playing a vital role in many areas including environmental mapping, urban development, and public safety.
The collaboration between Yahsat and G42 brings together a unique and powerful combination of advanced space technology and satellite communications expertise with AI and Big Data to develop and deploy best-in-class solutions. The collaboration also brings in specific capabilities of the G42 group companies, such as Bayanat, G42 Smart Nation and the G42 Space Program, to provide value-added managed services and solutions that are powered by the UAE's satellite capabilities, improving the acquisition, processing, and dissemination of geospatial data to support the needs of local and international customers.
The collaboration underpins Yahsat's proven track record as the UAE's leading satellite solutions provider as well as G42's advanced capabilities in geospatial AI solutions, cloud computing, and value-added data analytics.

Access to timely data, along with advanced interpretation capabilities, is critical to the country's security, environmental, and economic strategy. Yahsat's extensive experience in satellite communications and advanced space technology solutions make it the ideal partner to drive this key agenda .
